230/400V Coffee Machine

[dizwoz]

Good morning

I'm considering buying a commercial coffee machine for home however the one I'm looking at is 230/400v.

question - what do I need to run this from a domestic supply?

Many thanks

but this assumes its rated at less than 13A @230v

Thanks it did seem a daft question ifI waited until it arrived I'd have seen the plug!

Cheers

3 phase coffee machine for domstic use?

Why would anyone, anywhere, ever need a 3 phase coffee machine?! What is the reason for it being 3 phase?!

a **** load of coffee!

Commercial coffee machines used in shops etc require a quick heat recovery on the water, and therefore use large elements. They are typically split across the phases, but can be commoned up and run from a single phase supply - if the spec says so (the motors may also be 3ph for the grinder and pumps etc?).

Typically you will find they are anywhere from 10amp TP or 30amp SP upwards

In which case it'll need a 30A radial....
